0125758DeinoAn extensive data-reduction program for analysis of 40Ar/39Ar data is already in the beta testing phase at the Berkeley Geochronology Center (BGC) and other laboratories. Support from this grant add important, high-level data interpretation features, as well as producing detailed documentation suitable for public dissemination. These features will include: 1) an Arrhenius plotting program to evaluate argon diffusion experiments, 2) linkage of step-heating spectra directly to isochron analysis, so that the identification of a plateau can be based on isochron MSWD's, and also that non-zero intercepts can be fed back directly into the plateau program to generate appropriate plateau and integrated ages, 3) optional text-file input of spectrometer data in a standard format, and 4) data reduction capability for non-Ar Noble gasses. Expanded user support for this program will include a detailed, redundantly-indexed, PDF-format manual and on-line support in the form of help screens as well as Balloon Help on Mac OS systems up to 9.1, and Tool Tips on Mac OS X. As envisioned, the manual will be suitable as a web-available teaching tool for graduate-level classes in isotope geology.***

0125758Deino一个用于分析40Ar/39Ar数据的广泛数据简化计划已经在伯克利地质年代学中心(BGC)和其他实验室处于测试阶段。这笔赠款的支持增加了重要的、高水平的数据解释功能，以及制作适合公开传播的详细文件。这些功能将包括：1)用于评估Ar扩散实验的Arrhenius绘图程序；2)直接将阶跃加热光谱与等时线分析连接起来，这样就可以根据等时线MSWD来识别平台，并且非零截距可以直接反馈到平台程序中以生成适当的平台和综合年龄；3)标准格式的光谱仪数据可选的文本文件输入；以及4)非Ar Noble气体的数据简化能力。该计划的扩展用户支持将包括详细的、冗余索引的PDF格式手册和帮助屏幕形式的在线支持，以及Mac OS 9.1系统上的气球帮助和Mac OS X上的工具提示。如预期的那样，该手册将适合作为同位素地质学研究生级别课程的在线教学工具。*
